Czech Republic 3-1 Scotland: Two second half goals from Libor Sionko led the Czech Republic to a 3-1 victory over Scotland in their final friendly before Euro 2008 today.
Sionko surged into the centre of the box and beat Craig Gordon
on the right to open the scoring in the 61st minute.
Michal Kadlec made it 2-0 in the 84th, blasting a low shot
towards the far post.
David Clarkson pulled one back a minute later, picking up a
pass in the penalty area, shrugging off Tomas Sivok and beating
Petr Cech from close range.
Sionko scored the home side's third two minutes from time.
The Czechs, who reached the semi-finals at Euro 2004 where
they lost to eventual champions Greece, were in a mixed form in
qualifying and have suffered a rash of injuries.
Skipper Tomas Rosicky was ruled out of the tournament in
Austria and Switzerland after undergoing surgery to fix a knee
problem.
The Czechs are in Group A for the June 7th-29th tournament
with Portugal, Turkey and co-hosts Switzerland.
